Field Theory and the Electro-Weak Standard Model
/ Godbole, Rohini M. (Bangalore, Indian Inst. Sci.)
In this set of four lectures I will discuss some aspects of the Standard Model (SM) as a quantum field theory and related phenomenological observations which have played a crucial role in establishing the $SU(2)_{L} \times U(1)_{Y}$ gauge theory as the correct description of Electro-Weak (EW) interactions. I will first describe in brief the idea of EW unification as well as basic aspects of the Higgs mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. [...] arXiv:1703.04978.-

Imaging in Radiotherapy
/ Parodi, KatiaWith the continued evolution of modern radiation therapy towards high
precision delivery of high therapeutic doses to the tumour while optimally
sparing surrounding healthy tissue, imaging becomes a crucial component to
identify the intended target, properly position it at the treatment site and,
in more advanced research applications, visualize the treatment delivery. This
contribution reviews the main role of imaging in modern external beam radiation
therapy, with special emphasis on emerging ion beam therapy techniques, which
aim at exploiting the favourable properties of ion interaction in matter for
unprecedented ballistic accuracy in dose deliveryarXiv:1804.08519.-
